The Bench | Party Court

The Bench | Party Court When you pick up the game you put on the Robe! The gavel is yours! One question matters: can you tell truth from a pile of conflicting clues? The Bench is a solo courtroom roguelite about the hardest job in the room: judging fairly on incomplete information, then living with the call. HOW IT WORKS Every case hides a verdict — the Jury Card. The defendant is truly guilty or truly innocent, and you never get to see which. The truth bends the deck. Guilty cases converge: one motive, a matching weapon, witnesses that line up. Innocent cases fracture: competing motives, a weapon that won't fit, alibis that hold. You read the pattern of the draws, the way you'd spot a loaded die. The app never points it out. Noticing is the whole skill. BUILD YOUR CASE Six kinds of clues: Motive, Witness, Evidence, Weapon, Alibi, History. Fill up to six slots, one clue per type. Two of the same type may not be a stronger case; it could be reasonable doubt. Draw, decide, no take-backs. Decided the case based on the facts! THE RULING IS DO-OR-DIE Rule guilty or not guilty whenever you're ready, or get forced to when the deliberation clock runs out. Then flip the Jury Card. Right on a thin case? The boldest call on the bench, and legendary standing. Wrong? The fallout scales to how reckless you were. A thorough case that lied to you is forgivable. A one-card conviction that misses is a bribery charge — unseated on the spot. Career over. SURVIVE THE CAREER Every ruling follows you: clean conviction, correct acquittal, wrongful conviction, mistrial. Two ways to lose the robe — let your record rot to 50% bad calls, or take a single bribery charge. Then it's a new judge, starting from nothing. Solo and fully offline. No servers, no accounts, no waiting. Thousands of authored cases, from petty nonsense to genuinely nasty calls. One more case. One more ruling. How long can you last on the bench? Once you have the hang on the being the Judge, try your hand at something a bit socail! Party Court - the IRL experience that puts you and your friends in the courtroom! Available for $7.99 and can be played on any phone! © KiND Social
